Edin Dzeko starts up front for City, with Mario Balotelli dropping to the bench as Adam Johnson takes his place in the first XI. And no, Aleksander Kolarov doesn’t start.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair. Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.

      lol, FPL are so incompetent rises will happen.

      They don't even know how to host a server, let alone disable price rises, that's if price rises even work this year.

      Demi you have to look at who will play, suarez is less or a rotation risk (people incl myself not considering Tevez/dezko/balotelli - and nasri will prob come in also), but augero looks like he could wreck the place. that said liverpool werea little disjointed esp in 2nd half against a solid sunderland team, whereas city played a team just up from championship. I think you're best to get both. it's 20.5 million, but so worth it!

    Is anyone gonna resist not getting him? So many strikers of the same price have better fixtures, and he'll likely be rotated when the CL comes around.

    I'm considering, but I'm not f*cking up my team for him.

    That was the first full game I've managed to watch so far this season, so I'll be interested to see how the BP are allocated.
    Aguero was very good but he came on against a tired team, so does his 2 goals deserve all 3 - I'm sure under the new method he will get them, however for me Silva and Toure ran the show, and Vorm would probably have deserved 1 last season for the number of saves he made

      I would expect Silva to get bps (he's my captain). Yaya had too many wasted chances imho. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
